AquaForte EconoBead Multiport Valve Settings and Function:

• “FILTER” : water enters the Bead filter and goes upward through the beads and exits out of the vessel via the top spray bar to return to the pond.
• “RECIRCULATE” : With the recirculate feature you can bypass your Bead filter and flow the water from pond to pump to multiport and back to pond. This comes in handy when you are treating the pond.
• “WASTE” allows the water to bypass the Bead filter and go directly to waste, such as when you are performing a backwash cycle. You can also use the waste setting to vacuum out your pond without the garbage going into your filter, it bypasses the EconoBead filter via the multiport and goes out to waste.
• “RINSE” The first time we use the RINSE feature to wash the beads with the blower which forces huge amounts of air into the vessel and since air rises in water, the beads are broken apart by this action, making a thorough backwash easy to accomplish. After the backwash function we use the RINSE feature again but now with water instead of air. It is impossible to get every little bit of debris out of a filter and this causes these minute particles to exit in the waste line instead of going back into the pond.

AquaForte Backwash Instructions:

• 1. Turn off pump.
• 2. Move multiport valve to rinse. Air will go out of the Bead filter to waste and a small amount of water when blower is activated.
• 3. Activate blower unit for 1-2 minutes. During this time the beads and debris is dispersed throughout the interior of the EconoBead filter. This breaks up all trapped particles in the filter allowing the debris to be easily backwashed out to waste.
• 4. Move multiport valve to backwash mode. Turn pump on and run until backwash water is clear. Turn pump off.
• 5. Move multiport valve to rinse feature. Turn pump on and run until water is clear. This takes any leftover debris that would have gone back into the pond and sends it to waste instead of sending a grunge cloud of debris back into the pond. Turn off pump.
• 6. Move multiport valve back to Bead filter position and restart pump. You’re done.
